Teachers themselves are reported to often feel reluctant or unconfident teaching pronunciation either for the lack of training, available resources, or clear criteria/procedure for assessing pronunciation.
Hi,
Fortunately, I teach phonetics and phonology to small classes of 2o students.
In this way, each student has the opportunity to do enough practice.
In large classes, I believe there should be an integration of technology would help teachers to solve some problems related to this issue.
Good for you.. You are most definitely fortunate miss Eman
You know that large classrooms are difficult to control.. I mean classrooms with 50 -60 students. What makes it more difficult is when you try to teach them subjects which need practice and movements.
Well Dr.Khalid Shakir thank you for the advice. But speaking loudly is not enough.. I am speaking about the suprasegmental features of second language pronunciation such as syllabification, word stress, and rhythm. Here teachers, I think, need to use special gestures and movements. Also interaction between teacher and student is a must. This, in my opinion, is difficult to achieve in large classrooms.
